Jeremiah 12:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ But after I have removed those nations, I will return to help them. I will be kind to them. I will bring them back to the countries where they belong. Each nation will return to live in its own land. ¹⁶ But they must learn to live in the way that my people live. At one time they taught my people to use Baal's name when they made promises. But now they must give honour to me as the true God. When they make a promise, they must say, “I promise to do this, as surely as the Lord lives.” If they do these things, they will belong among my people. ¹⁷ But if any nation refuses to obey me, I will destroy it completely.’ That is what the Lord says.
